Maintaining tradition while fostering change: Pediatrics in 2015.

With each new year, one cannot help but reflect on the need to maintain tradition, yet also celebrate change—and when it comes to our journal Pediatrics, that is certainly the case. For the past 7 years (since we have been at the helm of the journal), we have published a commentary in which we share thoughts from our editorial board and managing editorial staff, and we are once again continuing that tradition. Each commentary we have written has introduced changes to our journal inspired by our readers’ input with the goal of making the journal even more responsive to its mission to publish high-quality studies and evidence-based policies that will change how we practice to improve the care we provide to children and families.
